Edmundas ZAVADSKAS, Milda VITEIKIENĖ, Jonas ŠAPARAUSKAS

The aim of this study was to assess the sustainable development of Vilnius residential districts. To this end, a thorough analysis of scientific articles, specific databases and other information sources was made, different indicator systems for assessment of sustainable urban development were reviewed and a system of 22 indices defining the aspects of sustainability was compiled. Residential areas were evaluated for their facilities, residential and business environment. On the basis of the surveys performed by experts, the significance of the indices was determined. Application of the multipurpose evaluation method COPRAS (Complex Proportional Assessment) allowed to establish the rank of priorities of residential areas in respect of their sustainability. The results of such assessment may be helpful for city authorities in distributing resources among the wards in a more rational way.

Keywords: sustainable development, residential areas of the city, indicators, COPRAS, evaluation
